WETUMPKA, Alabama -- An Elmore County man accused in one of the largest child sex abuse cases in the county’s history was indicted on more than a dozen charges after his original charges were dropped late last year.

Stephen Conrad was originally indicted on 105 counts of child sex abuse and rape charges, but the District Attorney’s Office dropped the charges after learning some victim statements were forced.

Former Tallassee Assistant Police Chief Chris Miles was the investigative officer on the case and took the statements, WSFA reported. He is now accused of evidence tempering and witness intimidation.

Conrad now faces four counts of sex abuse of a child under 12, two counts of sodomy first degree, two counts of child abuse, two counts of sex abuse first degree, three counts of rape first degree and one count each of incest and sexual torture, the report stated.

His wife, Brandy, confessed to abusing children and being present when her husband was abusing children, according to WSFA’s report.

Four of the eight suspected victims are his own children, according to original reports. The other victims are children of women Conrad has dated. All of the children are believed to be under the age of 12.
